"L" models feature standard size tuba shank. Those without "L" are small shank. If you have an older tuba that you can't seem to fit with a regular tuba mouthpiece try the models without the "L."

Especially for the professional tubist, Denis Wick has designed new mouthpieces to give even more volume and projection. They are a little more difficult to control, but the extra effort repays dividends. The inner rim contours are a little rounder for players who need to spend long hours in practice or performance. Much research has gone into the subtle reworking of the exterior shape to give even more powerful maximum dynamics and volume in all registers. |
